12 Best Weather Apps

Gone are the days when weather forecasting was little more than fortune-telling. With Doppler radar, satellite imaging and numerous advances in meteorology, weather forecasts are more reliable than ever. With the advent of mobile computing, you can get updated on the weather forecast anywhere you have a wireless or cellular signal. Check out the latest and greatest weather apps in order to stay up to date on the what's happening outside.

It would have been really nice to have had a comparison of accuracy, or even compare what gave more conservative information and what not. Weather accuracy is very important to me. I've been using The Weather Channel for the last year, but I'd be interested in how it compares in accuracy, unless they all get the same info from the same place.

I used to use Accuweather. The App is beautiful. I got tired of how slow it loaded. I switched to Weatherbug. I also used 1Weather on my last phone. I liked it but it didn't have radar. Looks like they might have added that so it may warrant another go.

When the Weather Ch started naming winter storms and making up fake tornado terms, I haven't watched them, or will put one of their apps on any device. Thankfully Direct TV finally got smart and kicked them to the curb too.....

I've had a "Smartphone" for years and occasionally buy apps that suit me. I bought WeatherBug a couple of years back simply because it displayed radar and cloud mass. Others do this too and to me, it's all I need to know on any given day, which way the inclement weather is moving.

I like Tornado GPS even though it is in its infancy for the ability to display radar data in real 3d. It is the only mobile app to date to do so. I use Radar Scope first and Tornado GPS when tornados may be close by to see the structure inside the storm.
